A new album by Julian Cope's nearly always worthy of celebration and also usually represents a chance to see one of post-punk's most idiosyncratic performers live.
How does one address Julian Cope these days? The former Teardrop Explodes frontman has many guises – post-punk hero, indie pop troubadour, historical writer, esteemed academic, playful political commentator, gnostic rocker, Krautrocker, drone rocker, off his rocker – not to mention his numerous appellations
It was a welcome sight to see Julian Cope on stage at the Barbican. The iconic venue adds a dash of panache to any tour roster with the creative arts embedded in its concrete walls.
Warmth, humour and real depth lie behind the dense beard and sunglasses of this eccentric artist, whose 40 years of baffling discography never fails to entertain
He takes to the stage decked out in his usual leather vest, knee-high leather boots, and beige three-quarter-lengths, with his grizzled mane poking out from under a navy cap and sunglasses.
